News Articles347 Genes Associated with Prognosis in Thyroid CancerAlthough thyroid cancer is fairly common, it has a relatively good prognosis compared to other cancers. Survival varies depending on type of thyroid cancer, with papillary carcinoma, the most common type, having the highest survival rate. By using a systems level approach to analyze the thyroid cancer proteome based on clinical metadata and genome-wide transcriptomics data, 374 genes were found to be associated with prognostic outcome...Read more More Than 700 Genes Linked to Prognosis in Cervical CancerCervical cancer is the third most common cancer type in women worldwide. Screening programs have contributed to decreased mortality, however, cervical cancer remains a major cause of cancer-related death among women in countries with limited access to screening. By using a systems level approach to analyze the cervical cancer proteome based on clinical metadata and genome-wide transcriptomics data, 724 genes were found to be associated with prognostic outcome...Read more Over 5000 prognostic genes identified in renal cancerRenal cancer affects mainly adults above age 60 and is more common in men than women. Although smoking, industrial chemicals and obesity have been suggested as risk factors, the underlying cause of renal cancer is often unknown. By using a systems level approach to analyze the renal cancer proteome based on clinical metadata and genome-wide transcriptomics data, 5968 genes were found to be associated with prognostic outcome...Read more Over a thousand genes associated with prognostic outcome in bladder cancerUrothelial cancer, also called bladder cancer, typically presents in patients over 50 years and is approximately three times as common in males compared to females. Tobacco is considered an important risk factor for developing bladder cancer. By using a systems level approach to analyze the urothelial cancer proteome based on clinical metadata and genome-wide transcriptomics data, 1093 genes were found to be associated with prognostic outcome...Read more 263 genes associated with prognostic outcome in gliomaGliomas are a group of brain tumors that originate from different types of glial cells in the central nervous system. The prognosis for glioma is generally poor due to limited possibilities for curative treatment. By using a systems level approach to analyze the glioma proteome with respect to clinical outcome based on genome-wide transcriptomics, 263 genes were found to be associated with prognostic outcome...Read more Upcoming EventsCell Culture Engineering XVIMay 6, 2018 - May 11, 2018Cell Culture Engineering conferences are held bi-annually. On May 6th Prof. Mathias Uhlen will open the conference with a keynote lecture on "The Human Protein Atlas - Implications for Human Biology, Drug Development and Precision Medicine".
